Memories.
Complex, complicated, relentless.
Maddening, frustrating, difficult.
Bring a smile to your lips when you are shrouded in melancholia.
Squeeze a drop from your heart when you are surrounded by gaiety.
A sidewalk you may have walked down with someone special. A blanket that belonged to someone, but now warms another. Sundown hour that was hitherto synonymous with tea made by an old, grown-accustomed-to hand, but from now on will announce the presence of a new one.
Memories.
Choking windpipes. Curving lips upwards.
Flooding eyes. Throbbing hearts.
Memories. What devils they are!
